You may not feel like you’re a “creative person,” but never underestimate where your code could turn up or what stories it might tell. The most unassuming repo can be remixed into something magnificent.

Hi Rachel. As an “engine room” geek I have always valued the contribution that design skills can make to my web projects (which would otherwise be dull and lifeless, much like this question). How can I work more effectively with designers and help them to increase the value they add to my projects (which I know is what good designers want to do, and I don’t want to work with bad designers)?

Follow-up question (if time): how do I, as someone with little design knowledge, tell the good designers from the bad ones?
